    I spent 50 years studying Mediaeval England and Ireland, focused mainly on the lives of village peasants. Virtually every village had a bath house. People usually bathed on Saturday, in order to be clean for Sunday Mass. Shifts were worn to keep perspiration from reaching outer clothing which was more difficult to wash. Hands were washed before, after, and often during meals. Physicians and surgeons washed their hands, instruments and the wounds they were treating with wine. They didnt know why it worked but they knew it did. Obviously, a daily shower was not possible but people did make an effort to clean themselves and wash their homes.

    The dancing plague I think was caused by Ergot. It's a mold that can grow on wheat if it stays too damp. Ergot gives LSD like effects. It makes sense because most of the wheat for the village was stored together and everyone would be ingesting the same supply. They think the Salem witch trials was caused by Ergot poisoning with the women affected dancing and twirling about for no reason. Of course the answer was "it's the devil!" and not just some women tripping their faces off from tainted wheat.

      Not a problem; there's a historical tendency of upper-classes to assume the lower-classes don't exist. Just assume the attempt to adopt that mindset was entirely successful.

    When I was young, a neighbor drove by our house to show Mama her baby daughter’s nose, which was quite orange. Mama diagnosed her quickly and correctly with feeding the baby only carrots, which was all the baby liked.

    So, there's a tribe that i cant remember the name of, that would eat the bodies of their deceased, and it caused in some, laughing fits that were so severe that they ultimately led to the death of the laughing people, and I believe that it was later confirmed to be a prion disease. I wonder if the dancing plague had anything to do with prions.

    The Children's crusade is a huge reason why we need to look at organized religion with suspicion and scrutiny. Insane religious fervor drove children to getting themselves killed and enslaved.

    JFC, if you're going to blather on about the Middle Ages, don't use video from Jane Austen adaptations and Disney movies that depict stories from well outside medieval times. Some of the dancing scenes are cribbed from YT videos demonstrating regional medieval court dances. There was nothing wild or frenetic about them.
